Fear that's what keeps me silent
Fear of rejection
Fear of ridicule
Fear of embarassment
If only I could read your mind
Wouldn't that be easy
No risk involved
You like me, great
You don't, well, that's ok too
I just wish I knew
The signals are apparent
But are they real or imaginary
You tell me
Something has to give
I have to speak up and ask
What did that glance mean
It all comes down to risk and fear
But then what do I have to lose
Life will go on no matter what
That I know
So ok maybe now is my chance
I have to ask
Do you like me
Or am I just a page of your history

I think about you, why?
What makes me care?
When I think of what you're going through, I sigh.
Will you ever learn? Do you dare?
Dare to break free!
You could be so happy!
Stop feeling crappy!
Turn to the LORD, he loves you.
Open your eyes to his heart.
Do as he would do.
Then happiness will start.
Don't you see, he has a plan,
A plan for everyone, everywhere.
In His Kingdom he wants every man!
He has so much to share!
So remember, when it feels wrong,
Stop! Think--- is this right?
If you feel you don't belong,
Then you should stop the fight.
Let Him into your life!
He can help! He WILL help!
No matter what you face, GOD CAN MAKE A WAY!

Give me a word Lord
Tell me what I should do
What am I to say?
I can't quite hear you
I know I'm going to heaven
But that's not only what it's about
There are others lost in this world
That need you too
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
Afriad of offending their broken hearts
Is there an easier way?
I know you suffered for us
And this rejection I fear
Is nothing compared to all that you have had
So now I must make the choice to stand up
And tell the world what you've done
Yes Lord that's what I want to do
Please give me the strength and wisdom
To help my brothers and sisters to see the light
Give me a word Lord

Love me, hate me,
But don't ignore me.
I'm a person too.
I just don't know you.
I keep quiet in fear of rejection
Give me a chance to
show my reflection.
All you see is my cover
But you will discover
What I'm about
if you figure out
How to open me up
There is so much unknown
Give me some time
And maybe you'll like
what I've shown.

Life is like a garden
You plant things in your mind
That you hope will grow
In order for your plans to sprout
You must tend speacial care
But if no effort is made
To maintain these crops
Then they soon will wilt
And there will be nothing to show for by the end of
garden season.
But if you take that extra step
To make sure everything is growing,
Your garden will blossom beautifully.
